In the early history of southwestern
Pennsylvania, in Somerset county, and
not far from the Maryland line. an emil
grant pitched his tent u night on the
banks of the T~urkeyfoot river, a tributary
of the Youghiogheny, a beautiful noun
tain stream. The occurrence was early
in the present century and was not an un-
common affair, but what followed in the
long years that have since passed is the
wonder and admiration of all who have
belield il.
The family in question was doubtless
in search of a suitable site for a future
home. and dreamed of no i'll ere the time
of that encampment. During their tenn
porary halt one of their dear children
was stricken down and buried in a lonely
and u%ninhabited spot in the little valley.
1t is supposed they the parents) planted
six small yellow poplars-three on each
side Of the grave-to make the resting
place Of their darling child. Years passed
and the poplars grew, and to-day they

about seven feet, where they divide and
are known for miles around as The Six
Poplars." These bodies are Of nearly
equal size, being each about two feet in
diameter and about 100 feet TO the low

A wedding Under Dimculties.

The Franco-G German war in 1870
brought about the reform in war cores
pondence. At the commencement of hos
tilities l was at Spicteren, a small town
on the border of those two countries. The
town was held by a small body of German
soldiers, and on the neighboring heights
was q large army Of Frenchmen. In case
they attacked the town we had determined
to rum. There is the comical as well as
the tragic side always in war, and both
these elements we experienced at Spic-
teren. A young German girl had come
to say good by TO her lover, a sergeant in
the small detachment. Some of us con-
ceived the idea that they should be mar
ried. Leave of absence was applied for
for the soldier and granted on condition
that at the first sound of the alarm he
should he back at his post.
The ceremony commenced, and just AZ
the clergyman came To the important
part the bugle sounded the alarm. The
French had commenced the attack.
Hastily buckling on his belt the soldier
ran to his post. Shot and shell burst
over the town and one crashed into the
kitchen stove and DESTROYED the wedding
breakfast. We all hastily retired Ia
another town a few miles of. That night
was still again, and we determined not Ia
be done out of our wedding, 50 we fourd

were married. Next day the battle was
renewed and the French were repulStd.

Special 20 the Gazette.
Fort SMITH, ARK, May 2G.-The fol-
lowing remarkable instance Of the man
ner in which iusuce is frequetly dealt out
in the courts of the Indian country, is
worthy of note. Last week the District
court OF Mosholatubhee district, Choctaw
nation, was in session, and the case of
Robert Morris, a Choctaw charged with
murder; was called. The defend
ant was on hand, but the princi-
psi witness-the man who saw
the murder committed-was not.
The Judge held the case over and sent an
officer to hunt up the witness and bring
him 10 court. He was found and made
his appearance. Morris was arraigned,
but while the preliminares of the trial
were in progress he (the witness) gave
the officers the slip, and when called
could not be found. After large por-
ton of the afternoon had been spent in
an unsuccessful search for him, the
Judge dismissed the case for want of
prosecution, and thus relieved the de-
PENDANT without trial, Notwithstanding
Tue CHSG WIS uOlOIIOuS duu Iuc
facts connected with 1t well known.
The murder was committed several
years ago, the victim being citizen OF
the Choctsw nation, named Mcdaniel.
Morris was drinking, and meeting Nc
Daniel, accused him of stealing hogs. A
few words passed, when Morris drew his
pistol aud shot the young man dead, and
to make sure of his work split the head
of bis victim with Ratchet. He secuted
and lodged the officers until little over
year ago, when he was arrested and
gave. bond for his appearance. His
father is quite wealthy, and
sn influential citizen, though 8
white man, and during the last two years
Bat has reformed and endeaVored to lead
q better and more orderly life, hence the
action of the court in setting him at
liberty is commended By many people In
the nation, the excuse being that Bat is
now good boy, even if ne did commit
cold-blooded murder. This case is about
on 8 par with al others in the Indian
courts, where the defendants have any
prominence whatever.
